Explore the Scenic Santa Ynez Valley Getaway
The Santa Ynez Valley may have gained attention as the setting for the filmSideways, but it was a great place to visit long before that. Separated from the Pacific Ocean by the Santa Ynez Mountains, it’s a broad, scenic valley with a distinctively rural feel—an ideal location for a Sunday drive or a relaxing weekend. It encompasses the towns of Solvang, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Buellton, and the area along CA Hwy 154 between the San Marco Pass and US Hwy 101.
